      Deplorable: deserving strong condemnation, shockingly bad in quality.

      Describes exactly how bad they suck.

      Doesn’t say they are not human people, just that they’re the kind of human people we deplore.

          What an odd thing to say… For one, “slippery slope” is literally the name of the logical fallacy you’re doing here.

          But also, think about what you’re saying for a moment. How does accurately describing a person’s behavior dehumanize them? Are we just supposed to never acknowledge shitty behavior in others?

          It’s kind of the opposite… I’ve never heard an animal described as “deplorable”. I’m not sure they’re capable of it? So if anything, the term is humanizing.

          I’m pretty sure if you put out a giant basket and labeled it DEPLORABLES, you’d soon find it filled to the rim with people wearing MAGA hats who climbed in there by themselves.

      So either you don’t know what “deplorable” means, or what “dehumanize” means. It’s one or the other.
